   We arrived on time for our 6:30 reservation and were seated shortly after that. It took a few minutes to get service while the figured out who had our table. The waiter, Alex, was very good, and very good natured. He stood up well to our ribbing (repeated) due to our disappointment that the Kibbee Nayee had run out 😕. We agreed to come back in time for the blue hair special next time to not miss out. The food was all very good and I’m sure we’ll be back. It wasn’t really loud, but it probably would be very loud if the bar, in the same space as the dining room, was full.

   Very disappointing meal, up-charge for everything, drinks too strong and do not taste well. Dry food and very loud. Not an authentic Middle Eastern experience at all.

   Most of us ordered the lamb and we found it to be a little overcooked.

   We went for a late lunch (3pm), the place was empty, so our waitress sat us down right away. Very friendly, she gave us recommendations on the menu and we were able to customized our drinks. We order a sampler platter for the two of us and it was more than enough. Food was fresh, and yummy! We will definitely be back again.

   On a busy night you will find it very noisy. The fly problem seems taken care of. But in summer it was not good. It took unusually long Sunday for our chicken kabobs which were burned from leaving on the fire too long. A couple months ago waited almost a full hour from putting the order in to getting the food served. This caused us to rush the eating and we were still late anyway for our event. There's more. But something is not quite right there as far as food and service goes. I give it 3 stars. Try Mama's or Saydes.

    Being our first time there, we didn't really know what to expect. I friend suggested we try it as we enjoy this type of food. I was told when I called, that I needed a reservation- I was told to make it on line; no problem- I did. An hour and a half later we were at the restaurant. To our surprise there weren't many cars, so we were a bit surprised about the necessity of a reservation but no problem. When we walked in, we were at the hostess station and asked what we'd like; I kind of thought it was obvious, but I played along and said nicely- two for dinner! She rolled her eyes and grabbed two menus and I said, if it matters...and gave our name telling her we had reservations. Another eye roll with a sigh. We were seated at a small table for four in the middle of the restaurant . It was beyond loud as there was a very big party at the end of the restaurant. I have no problem with that, big when I say loud, I mean it was hard to have a conversation at the table and we had to ask the waitress to repeat many times. The food was fine and plentiful, a little cool- but figured it was the big party messing things up! We will try again.
